    NSDictionary *dict = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys:person.name, @"name", person.email, @"email", nil];
    [mutArr addObject:dict];
}

Answer 1

Please see the below example:

 NSArray *array = [NSArray arrayWithObject:[NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObject:@"filter string" forKey:@"email"]];   // you can also do same for Name key... 
    NSArray *filteredarray = [array filteredArrayUsingPredicate:[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"(email == %@)", @"filter string"]];
